Example of your tour experience

Hi, I'm Hiroko. I live in the suburbs of central Tokyo-alongside of JR Chuou line where there are abundant sightseeing spots such as Ghibli Museum( MIyazaki-Hayao animation museum), INOKASHIRA park(zoo as well), KICHIJOUJI(the most popular town in Tokyo), JINDAIJI(the second oldest temple following Sensouji-temple in Asakusa), KOGANEI park (EDO-TOKYO architecture museum)
Sawanoi-sake brewery,
Mt. Takao (hiking), etc..
When you would like to visit the second popular sightseeing spots, I will be happy to guide you around one of them. I'm sure you'll find and see some of the true and ordinaly life in Tokyo. Of course I am also very happy to guide you around the various popular sightseeing spots in central Tokyo as well, but when you would like to experience more, remember, it's sometimes true that you can find equally valuable things in less popular areas. Let's have an adventure with me!!!
